Mission Impossible, Ghost Protocol is the forth movie in the franchise (though first not to acknowledge its place in the title) and sees Tom Cruise reprising the number one role of the globe-trotting super agent Ethan Hunt. Across the series Hunt has developed from team member to lone wolf and now in Ghost Protocol he has to become a true leader of a team that, for the 1st time, he did not choose.

Tom Cruise, returning as IMF agent Ethan Hunt, once more puts everything he’s got into his role. This franchise is obviously Cruise’s baby, and the famously obsessed star characteristically does not back away from the more threatening stunt work. The commitment level shown by Cruise is amazing, whether he’s clinging on the side of the worlds tallest skyscraper (130 floors up), or throwing himself down several levels of a parking garage. Say what you’ll want about his eccentricities, but the person takes a battering at each turn of this film only to rise and face down the next challenge, the very definition of a brave performance.

The already mentioned skyscraper climb is one of the most exciting sequences one has ever seen in a movie, but it’s just one of a few amazing scenes constructed by the director Brad Bird and his crew. Even in the quieter moments, seemingly trivial little gags (Hunt dropping a disguise for example) add a lot to the movie, like the frail frosting on a massive, many-layered cake.

The film blasts off into overdrive from the minute the gates open and seldom lets up, it’s one hell of a ride and there’s enough action and gadgets here to delight any fan of the spy film genus. The plot is fairly easy; the bad guy obtains the key to the final weapon and plans to destroy the world with it. Hunt and his team, working without the support of the IMF, must stop him at all costs. It has enough twists and turns to keep you engaged however it never gets so difficult that you risk getting lost while you’re submerged in the mind- blowing stunt sequences.

Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol streaming delivers just the the sort of entertainment action fans crave and as a outcome it is a brilliant popcorn film. If you do not enjoy this ride then entertaining you is a mission: impossible.
